The Japanese holiday of Tanabata is celebrated on the 7th day of the 7th month of the year. It commemorates the meeting of two star-crossed lovers, the goddess Orihime and the cow-herder Hikoboshi. This legend is a reminder of the separation of people and to appreciate the reunions they share with their loved ones.
